In
January, the Ministry of Science and ICT held a forum on the direction of the
'next-generation network development strategy' to take the lead in the
competition for future network technologies such as 6G beyond 5G and satellite
communication.
The
government plans to begin to establish a 'next-generation network development
strategy' that comprehensively contains a future vision to become the world's
best network innovator by accelerating the development of advanced technologies
such as 5G Advanced, 6G, open LAN, and quantum communication.
In
addition, the government announced in March that it would invest 251.3 billion
Korean Won to create national standards for digital transformation and carbon
neutrality, including 6G, autonomous vehicles, and renewable energy, which
shows that the Ministry of Science and ICT is speeding up securing digital
innovation such as AI and 6G.Also, MSIT operated
the 6G Strategy Committee, and started developing core technologies worth 220
billion Korean Won for five years since last year. The new government is
expected to push ahead with the policies related to low-orbit satellite communication
for 6G, 6G PPP, and O-RAN. More details can be found in the 'New Government's
National Strategy for the Food Sector'.
The
core of the new government, which is about to be launched, is a digital
national strategy centered on 6G mobile communication and AI, and accordingly,
the new government aims to demonstrate 6G communication technology for the
first time in the world in 2026.
In
addition, to strengthen competitiveness in the mobility field, the new
government announced the commercialization of fully autonomous vehicles and
commercialization of urban air transportation.
